Delayed withdrawal and misinformation from the casino


Hi team,

Hoping raising this issue will lead to a resolution.

I've made many deposits with BOOI since March 2023 but this is the first time requesting a withdrawal.

I submitted a withdrawal request for 370 euro yesterday at 14:19 p.m.

According to BOOI's terms and conditions, withdrawals are processed within two hours:

11.9 Withdrawals are available 24/7. The payment schedule may vary on public holidays. Processing the withdrawal application takes not more than 2 (two) hours from the time of placing the withdrawal.

My withdrawal has not been processed yet - almost 24 hours later.

I contacted chat and was advised that 'there are difficulties on the part of interbank systems, due to which transactions are delayed. Your withdrawal is being processed, the waiting time may take up to 96 hours'.

I was also advised the following: 'Please pay attention to the notification in the “Cashier” section, that there are technical delays on the side of banking systems. We recommend using PIASTRIX and e-wallet (trc20, erc20) to make deposi­ts/­wit­hdr­awals.'

However, there is no such notice in the cashier section and when I pointed this out (twice) to the agent, my concerns were ignored and he did not address this. If such a notice existed, I would possibly be inclined to give the casino some leeway but I see no evidence that what I am being told is true.

At this point I became concerned due to the misinformation and the breach of T&Cs with regard to payment times so hoping you can help get this resolved.

Dear @stevend33,

Following a careful review and consideration of your case, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that, unfortunately, your complaint is not compliant with the AGCCS Guidelines, section Balance played off while waiting to be paid and, therefore, is being rejected. Please keep in mind that following all AGCCS Guidelines is mandatory.

Please keep in mind that while we can understand your frustration and disappointment of probably not being paid within the time frame specified by the operator, it is up to you to refrain from playing until the processing of your payment is finalized accordingly. Instead, you kept playing and lost your balance subsequently which means that unfortunately, you will also lose the validity of your claim against the operator which led to the rejection of the complaint.

And while we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that in case of disagreement with our decision further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

Casino wins, I gave up and the money is all gone. It is too late for me but I hope someone reading this might think twice before setting up an account with this 'casino'. I can only describe my experience as a form of mental torture where you cannot get a straight answer to any question from the chat operators with regard to the withdrawal.

Since 7am this morning I did everything possible to get this money paid - I set up an account with 'much better' then they told me I couldn't withdraw with it unless I made a deposit. I didn't have money to make a deposit - because of them! You can even see what they advised above - you can use neteller but they don't mention I would have to make a deposit first. I was told to use crypto but I have no idea about crypto. Why couldn't they simply provide the option to withdraw through myfinity - the same method I had used for my deposits. I spent hours yesterday on the farce that was the SEPA payment - it was never ever going to work just like the bank card payment didn't yet I was made jump through extraordinary hoops to verify my bank account.

They keep reversing the money back to your account - in the hope that you do what I did, and play it all down. The only logical conclusion about this casino is that it's a scam. I have no idea how they have managed to obtain and retain a licence - I find this incredible. I will take some comfort from the fact that they will never get another cent from me as I will close the account. I am left with the feeling that they achieved what they set out to do here, to avoid paying my winnings. It's scandalous, it shouldn't happen but it does and it will happen again but hopefully someone will read this and take notice.

I don't have Skrill, Neteller or Cryptocurrency. I have MyFinity - I do not understand why this is not an option to withdraw - It's the same method I use for my deposits! Are you saying my pending withdrawal to my bank has actually failed now?

I am a long time AskGamblers community member and always rely on reviews to guide me when it comes to deciding on which online casino to play at.

Booi Casino had many positive reviews and, more importantly, offered withdrawals by Interac and the pending time was an attractive 0-2 hours.

With this information in hand, I decided to play at Booi Casino and made a deposit through Interac with no Bonus Taken.

After a bit of luck, I was fortunate enough to win a bit of money. I confirmed my email address, cellular telephone number, and provided my Passport and Debit Card for verification.

With everything in order, I proceeded to make my Withdrawal request for $2811 CAD via Interac. It was relatively smooth sailing in the beginning as the 0-2 hours was on the mark but, unfortunately, the Withdrawal is stuck in “Processing” status ever since.

I have been very patient and contacted Booi support on 2 occasions but their response is simply that they are encountering Technical Issues and no time line can be given as to when the Withdrawal will be completed on their end.

It is 2021 and when a Customer plays at a casino, makes a deposit, and loses; they say thank you and walk away. If a customer is lucky enough to win, verify their account, and requests a Withdrawal; they should expect to receive their winnings according to the casino’s advertised terms.

AskGamblers, I really did not want to escalate this matter but, as I really do not see the light at the end of this Withdrawal Tunnel, I am forced to seek your assistance in resolving this matter. I have faith in this open forum process and I thank you for your involvement.
